PIERRE, OAK. Aug. 29.-The Carlin-
Dupree wedding that took place Satur-
day on the Cheyenne river. sixty miles
northwest of this city, was the great
event of the season as it was the first
time in the history of this section of the
country that a white man of note has
married a squaw The groom, Douglas
Carlin, is a grandson of Territorial Gov
ernor Carlin, of Illinois, and is the
nephew of Col. Carlin, of the regular
army. The bride is the daughter of
Frederick Dupree, French half-breed.
Her mother is the queen of the Mime
conjOu band of Sioux. The ceremony
was performed by Justice Kinnie, of
this city. in the presence of 1000 Sioux
Indians and thirty whites. After the
American ceremony was performed, an
old SquaW came from a hut and chanted
dismal song as an indication that the
Indians were satisfied.
THE MEDICINE MAN
of the Sioux then, with his head covered
with Buffalo robe, burned herbs and
invoked the blessing of the Great Spirit,
after which two Indians rode white
ponies across the plains and presented
them to the bride and groom as the APP
prOval of the Great Spirit. The feast
then commenced, which consisted of
10 oxen roasted whole and 100 dogs
boiled into soup. The latter was not
sampled by the whites. The presents
made from the father were 800 cattle, 80
ponies and 80 domestic buffalOeS. Dane
ing was commenced and kept up three
days without intermiSSiOn. As fast as
one Indian was exhausted another took
his place. and the ball went on. The
bride is an ordinary looking Squaw, with
no education. She was clad in robe
of black silk, with beaver fur trimmings,
red ribbons and elk teeth ornaments.
She does not look striking, but is re-
garded as great catch, as she is re-
ported to be worth $4,000 i'll her own
right, and is the heireSS to the Dupree
estate and 1000 in cash and other Sc
curitieS. The Indians now regard it a
great honor for white man TO marry a
Squaw. In this case they are greatly
pleased. rejoicing going on throughout
the entire bounds of the reservation.

AN IOWA CASE
Which Has Reference to Terminal
Facilities.

DEs MONIES, To-, Aug. 29.-The rail-
road commissioners this morning rem
dered decision in the Dubuque case, a
trade in behalf of merchants, millers
and others. The complaint recited that
the Chicago, Milwaukee IL st. Paul and
Illinois Central roads, which have ac-
quired most of the available space in
the city for SidetrackS, refused to switch
cars of the Burlington. Cedar Rapids IL
Northern and Minnesota u Northwest
ern roads, which have just en-
tered the. city, to mills and fac
tories for loading, if they are to be
used for freight to competing points,
and raised the switching charges to 81
per ear for freight to non-competing
points, thus practically embargOing sew
eral branches of business. The COM
miSSiOnerS say the question is, are the
SidetrackS of railroad subject to the
same control as the main line, and they
hold that under Sec. 1929 of the code all
property. used for railroad purposes
comes within the law, whether it be
station houses, SidetrackS or any other
instrumentality for hauling freight;
that under Chap. 15S, laws of the
ninth general assembly, railroad
companies are bound to receive
all cars of connecting roads at reason
able rates. The sidings of the Milwau--
kee and the Illinois Central at Dubuque
are public highways, and these COM
paniess are required to haul over them
the cars at reasonable rates, whether
the business is or is not competitive. A
reasonable rate for switching is 81 for
one mile, $3.50 for two miles and 50 for
three miles,, The new roads are not re-
ilieved, however, from providing suit
able terminal facilities for tranSacting
their business. This decision reverseS
that in the case OF Wisconsin, Iowa and
Nebraska VS.. the Chicago q Northwest
ern given in 1884, further examination
having shown that these Dubuque side
tracks have not the private character
given in that case.

The Poor Getting Richer.

"The rich are getting richer and
the poor are getting poorer" This
declaration has been so frequently
made III the past twenty years even
by persons who can not justly be
termed either socialists or demago
gues, that, in the minds of great
majority Of the people, it has acquir
ed all the force Of an axiom. Its
truth, indeed, has been challenged,
but rarely has this been done by
persons who have presented evi
dence which has been at all con
vincing. The point has often been
made that, while few individual fort
unes exceeded $l,000,000 twenty or
twenty five years ago in the United
States, fortunes Of $20,000,000 or
$50, 100000 are not uncommon now,
and that this great gain in the vol
ume of single accumulations has
been coincident with an increase in
the numberot eleemosynary institu
tions and the sum total expended
for the support of paupers These
propositions, whose validity is not
disputed, constitute the principal
ground for the theory that poverty
is extending among the masses Of
the people.
A book has just been issued by
the Government which contains fig
ures throwing good deal of light
on the question of poverty among
the people. This book is one OF the
volumes constituting the report of
the Tenth Census. 1t gives the pri
ces of the necessaries of life and the
rates of wages paid, and the number
of hours of labor constituting a days
work. in some OF the leading indus
tries for many years, ending IN lS-
So The following table shows the
percentage OF the whole number OF
workers who, In 1880 and 1880, were
employ ed for designated numbers of
hours per day:
The Russellville Democrat. [volume] (Russellville, Ark.) 1875-1898, 1887-04-06
Percentage Percentage

This indicates that there has been
marked decrease in the number of
hours OF labor constituting a days
work in the past half century. For
example, fifty years ago over l3 per
cent of the working people were com
pelied to toll from thirteen to four
teen hours day, while in 1880 only
a little over 2 per cent worked so
long. And during all that period
The rate of wages has been increas
ing. The average pay in 1880 was
20 per cent greater than IN 1860,
and 40 per cent greater than IN 1880.
Moreover, while hours OF labor
were lessening and wages expand
ing, the prices of the necessarles of
life remained unchanged.
These facts it should be remembered
are not cited by the census authori
ties for the bearing which they may
have on any theories of political or
social economy. They are simply
the results of an exhaustive inquiry
into the conditions of existence
among the working classes during
the past few decades, carried out
with the sole desire of elciting the
truth. Their correctness is as lit
tie open to question as is the i'm
portance of the hight which they
throw on the most absorbing social
problem of the time. They indicate
that the poor are growing richer, not
poorer.
Statistics which have for years
been available TO all seeking rei-
able information on the subject,
show that the masses of the people
to day enjoy comforts which were
within the reach of the wealthy
classes alone half century ago.
Other statistics equally unimpeach
able prove, by the increase in depos
It's in savings banks and in the mum
ber Of individual owners of houses
and small farms. that fair share of
the wealth which has been growing
in a much greater ratio than popula-
tion in this country for several de-
cades past is going into the hands
of the artisans, factory operatives
and agricultural laborers.
Larger fortunes are now held by
individuals Ian were held a few
years ago. L.. s the result OF the
growth in associated enterprise
which has increased and cheapened
production, lowered the price of all
commodities and advanced the com
forts, convenience and happiness of
all classes Of people. The expan
sion in the cost OF paupersm to the
State and to society is due not to an
increase in the relative numb who
require aid, but TO the growth in the
spirit of brotherhood aud humanity
which the nations advancement in
wealth and prosperity has brought
about.
The general publication OF the
facts presented IN the volume Of the
census report just issued would fur
nish complete and radical antidote
to all the mlsehievous socialistic
poison which could be scattered
broadcast by thousand Georges,
Avelings and theirklnd. Exchange.
